After the New England Patriots and Matthew Judon failed to find common ground on a contract extension prior to the 2024 season, the team sent him to the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday for a 2025 third-round pick.
There had been a lot of drama between the two sides over the last few weeks, including Judon being sent out of practice, not showing up another time, speaking out on a podcast and making it clear on social media that he didn't think he would be re-signed and didn't like how he was being portrayed.
After the trade was announced Judon took to social media to share his reaction.

However, he wasn't the only one to react online, as a number of his former teammates did the same.
